I suggest you start by disabling sound in the game, see if it runs better.
Reduce your monitor resolution to 1024x768x32. You will be able to raise the refresh rate, to 100Hz on most CRT monitors at this reso.
I'll be frank. This rig is not particularly suitable for IL2 46. Both the CPU and the graphics card are quite feeble and you will need to back the settings down considerably to get a smooth-running game. I would suggest reducing your Sound Hardware acceleration a notch or two, using the appropriate control in the dxdiag interface. Switch off audio enhancements in IL2 Setup. Ensure that in-game radio function is switched off.
Try to trim all eye-candy and then raise it up once the game is running aright.
Another dxdiag would be handy to make sure that the adjustments have gone right.
